When you make a surprise strike, the target is considered flat-footed regardless of any class features or abilities it might have, and you add your trickster tier as an insight bonus on the attack roll.

Should Surprise strike have a similar language, or do you need Mythic Uncanny Dodge to counter it?Quote:Surprise Strike (Ex): You can expend one use of mythic power to make a melee or ranged attack at a target within 30 feet as a swift action (in addition to any other attacks you might make this round).
